Jaman

Please be patient while this applet loads....

I. What is Jaman?

Jaman is a Java applet simulating the very famous old game PCMAN (or PACMAN, written by Greg Kuperberg, 1982). Even though the scenario of game was simple, it offered many people a lot of excitement and fun. The new one would bring you to the interesting and exciting feeling of that game. Many features and a cool graphic will make you more relaxed and more excited.

Press the button above to launch the game and have fun.

II. How to play

Use a mouse to select a map, the number of Jaman and a new game, to pause, hide the game and turn on/off sound. Use the keyboard's left, right, up, down keys to control Jaman.

You should run Jaman away from devils for his life. In a normal case, devils cannot turn back unless they go to a dead end path or when Jaman is eating a magic orange. When eating a gold nut, Jaman slows down. Devils slow down on any turn or run in some slow path. After eating a magic orange, Jaman can beat any devils whose color is changed. Every time Jaman eats devils, the score he gets will increase exponentially (200, 400, 800, 1600 points). Try to eat all devils each time. You will have one more Jaman every 10000 points.

The names of your maps should be map1.txt, map2.txt, map3.txt, and so on till map100.txt. If you want to keep the default maps (from map1 to map 2), name your maps from map3.txt. This program will automatically read all your maps until meeting the first discontinuation of these file names or the error of reading.
